Watch a cammed and bottled C6 Corvette go head to head with a supercharged C7 Corvette with surprising results.
This video, posted by YouTube user PMR, and shared in the LS1Tech Kill Stories section by forum member c6ftw features a cammed and bottled C6 Corvette participating in a couple of high speed roll races with a supercharged C7 Corvette.
we know that the C6 Corvette is fitted with an LS3 engine which has been enhanced with a BTR Stage 4 camshaft and a 100 shot of nitrous. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. It also appears to have lightweight wheels and sticky tires, but there is no mention of that – nor do we know whether or not the C7 Corvette has sticky tires.
We do know that the C7 Stingray is an LT1 car with a Procharger D1SC blower and a 7-speed manual transmission.
The first race has the two Corvettes going from a 30 mile per hour roll and while the supercharged C7 hangs with the cammed and bottled C6 at first, the older Corvette pulls away a bit each time that the newer Vette shifts. We get to watch this race from inside of each car and in both videos, we can see how badly the C6 beats the C7.
Next, the two Corvettes go from a 50 roll. In this race, the C6 quickly jumps out to a lead and continues to pull away. On the final run, another roll race from 50mph, the C7 gets an early lead, but the C6 quickly passes and pulls away.
In short, the cammed and bottled C6 Corvette with an LS3 beats the supercharged C7 Corvette with a new LT1 over and over. Crank up your speakers and enjoy!
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
